Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Oakland
- Oakland SUV rentals are versatile vehicles that can accommodate various travel purposes. SUVs typically offer more interior space than smaller cars, providing ample room for passengers to sit comfortably and for luggage or gear storage. Modern SUVs often come equipped with advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and collision avoidance systems, enhancing overall safety during your trip. SUVs are a popular choice for family trips due to their spaciousness, rear-seat entertainment options, and features like child safety seat anchors.
- Oakland International Airport (OAK) is a really good place to find Oakland SUV rentals. To find the 10 or so companies that operate here, you will find that shuttle buses connecting the terminals and the Rental Car Center run continuously, with a frequency of every 10 minutes or less, around the clock. In the case of renting a vehicle from an off-airport rental car agency, you will need to transfer to their shuttle. To arrange the transfer, please call from either the terminal or the Rental Car Center, and the Rental Car Center staff will assist you accordingly.
- Driving in Oakland, like in many urban areas, can present both opportunities and challenges. Be aware of toll roads and bridges in the Bay Area, such as the Bay Bridge. Familiarize yourself with toll payment methods, which may vary, and be prepared to pay the tolls. If you're driving in the Oakland Hills area, be aware of steep, winding roads and be cautious when navigating these roads, especially during rainy or foggy weather. Like many urban areas, auto theft can be a concern. Take precautions by locking your vehicle, not leaving valuables in plain sight, and parking in well-lit areas.
- Oakland, like many urban areas, experiences challenging driving times due to traffic congestion, special events, and other factors. On weekdays, from approximately 7:00 to 9:00 am and from around 4:00 to 6:00 pm, travel can be challenging due to the influx of commuters heading to work, particularly on highways and major roads. When sporting events, concerts, or other major events are held at venues like the Oakland Coliseum or Oracle Arena, traffic congestion in the surrounding areas can be significant.

Cons:
Sorry my bad. I screwed up. Will actually not fully my fault. I did indicate I wanted to rent from SFO airport and it also apparently gave me options for Oakland airport rentals and I rented a car from there without realizing. Duh! Will anyway it was nonrefundable and I'm screwed out of $140. So since kayak sent me a request via email for a review of my car rental it's fair to say it didn't go so well!2.0 Poor
Mar. 2021
Pros:
nothingCons:
I reserved the car and was scheduled to pick it up at 8PM. I showed up a little bit late, and I assume this would be no problem, because the Oakland Airport Rental Car Center is open 24 hours a day. When I got to the car rental center, no one was at the Payless desk, and another lady told me that Payless closes at 8PM. So why would I be allowed to reserve a car for pickup at the time that the desk closes? So anyway, I had to change my trip plans because I had no rental car.6.0 Okay

Feb. 2021
Cons:
I called Alamo twice to confirm that my SUV rental would be AWD as this was the sole reason for my rental to drive into snowy weather and both times was told I would have AWD with any SUV rental. However, at OAK airport I was told I am not guaranteed AWD and in additional OAK airport is the only Alamo location in the Bay Area that charges an additional fee for AWD. Eventually the agent did make an effort to help me get what we needed but the experience was unnecessarily disconcerting.7.6 Good
Jul. 2017
Cons:
When we picked up our car, fortunately before we left the lot, we noticed that we had been given a car with an almost flat tire. Alamo quickly put us in another car, but it wasn't until after we left the lot that we realized we were given a car without a full tank of gas. This location doesn't seem to pay attention to details.10.0 Wonderful
